Drunktor Who: A Doctor Who Podcast Drunktor Who

We watch the first two episodes of “The Three Doctors” (finally!) considered by most to be the 10th anniversary story of classic Who even though it aired nearly a year prior to the actual 10th anniversary…awkward. So whilst said premature shenanigans are shenaniganing, the Doctor investigates a rogue weather balloon, the Doctor catches up with UNIT, and the Doctor plays peacekeeper with the Doctors. Is it just me or is the Brigadier less cool in this story?

We watch the concluding episodes of classic serial “Spearhead From Space” where the third Doctor and soon-to-be-companion-Liz-Shaw (no relation to Tim Shaw) battle space tentacles (?) attempting to take over the earth. Whilst said Plan 9 From Outer Space is occurring, the Doctor continues wearing another man’s dirty clothes, Liz continues proving she’s the Doctor’s intellectual equal (oh the horror), and the Brigadier is just damn cool.

We end up watching the first two episodes of the classic serial “Spearhead From Space” where John ends up eating crow because Steve and I committed to watching “The Three Doctors” but I misremembered and thought that we were watching this story and did all the research for this story and then whilst live in the recording of the podcast Steve rightfully says that I was wrong but unofficial third co-host Denise decides to cast the tie breaking vote that we continue to watch and discuss “Spearhead” anyway. (Inhales deeply after writing that run on sentence.) So meanwhile back in “Doctor Who” there’s a new Doctor, a totally-not-the-new-companion Liz, and Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart was promoted (offscreen) to Brigadier AND series regular. Apologies to the cohost and listener(s?) expecting to hear a thoughtful (?) discussion about another story. Keep in mind that I am very old.

We watch the concluding episodes of “The Tomb of the Cybermen” where our retro-Whoby Crew attempt to lull the crankily woken up Cybermen back to their semi-eternal slumber. Whilst said cradle rocking is occurring, Doctor Mop-Top low key continues enabling murder, Jamie runs around... a lot..., and Victoria shows she smarter than the men by getting help.

We watch the first two episodes of the classic serial “The Tomb of the Cybermen” where Doctor Two takes Jamie and Victoria to a futuristic planet (that is most certainly not a quarry outside of London in 1967) where they encounter morons attempting to resurrect slumbering Cybermen. Whilst said rude awakening is occurring, Jamie gets ‘handsy’ with the Doctor, Victoria shoots a cyber-mousey, and the Doctor gleefully allows randos to be killed.

We watch the final two episodes of the “Time Meddler” saga ('A Battle of Wits' and 'Checkmate') where our retro Whoby crew discover the Meddling Monk is another time traveler with a plan to jump start human development. Whilst said Western Pro-Civilization is occurring, Vikings continue to slo-mo battle the Saxons, the Doctor sabotages the Monk’s Tardis (wait…what?!), and the American viewers (re: John and Steve) scratch their heads in confusion cuz histry is confuzing.
